FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compounds that affect cholinergicreceptors, especially muscarinic receptors. The present inventionprovides compounds that are agonists of cholinergic receptors includingmuscarinic receptors, especially the M₁ and M₄ subtype of muscarinicreceptors. The invention also provides methods of using the providedcompounds for modulating conditions associated with cholinergicreceptors, especially for treating or alleviating disease conditionsassociated with muscarinic receptors, such as the M₁ and/or M₄ receptorsubtypes.

BACKGROUND

Muscarinic cholinergic receptors mediate the actions of theneurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervoussystems. Muscarinic receptors play a critical role in the centralnervous system mediating higher cognitive functions, as well as in theperipheral parasympathetic nervous system where they mediate cardiac,respiratory, digestive, and endocrine and exocrine responses. Fivedistinct muscarinic receptor subtypes have been identified, M₁-M₅. Themuscarinic M₁ receptor subtype is predominantly expressed in thecerebral cortex and is believed to be involved in the control of highercognitive functions; the M₂ receptor is the predominant subtype found inheart and is involved in the control of heart rate; the M₃ receptor iswidely expressed in many peripheral tissues and is believed to beinvolved in gastrointestinal and urinary tract stimulation as well assweating and salivation; the M₄ receptor is present in brain and may beinvolved in locomotion; the M₅, receptor is present in the brain whereits role is at present poorly defined. M₁ and M₄ have been particularlyassociated with the dopaminergic system.

Conditions associated with cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer'sdisease, are accompanied by a reduction of acetylcholine content in thebrain. This is believed to be the result of degeneration of cholinergicneurons of the basal forebrain, which widely innervate multiple areas ofthe brain, including the association cortices and hippocampus, that arecritically involved in higher processes.

Efforts to increase acetylcholine levels have focused on increasinglevels of choline, the precursor for acetylcholine synthesis, and onblocking acetylcholineesterase (AChE), the enzyme that metabolizesacetylcholine. Attempts to augment central cholinergic function throughthe administration of choline or phosphatidylcholine have not beensuccessful. ACHE inhibitors have shown therapeutic efficacy, but havebeen found to have frequent cholinergic side effects due to peripheralacetylcholine stimulation, including abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting,and diarrhoea. These gastrointestinal side effects have been observed inabout a third of the patients treated. In addition, some AChEinhibitors, such as tacrine, have also been found to cause significanthepatotoxicity with elevated liver transaminases observed in about 30%of patients. The adverse effects of AChE inhibitors have severelylimited their clinical utility.

The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia suggests that increaseddopamine neurotransmission underlies the positive symptoms of thedisease and is supported by the evidence that dopamine receptor blockadeis effective in ameliorating such psychotic symptoms. Further, drugsthat enhance dopamine neurotransmission in the brain causepsychotic-like episodes in man and exacerbate psychotic symptoms inschizophrenic patients. In animal studies, drugs that increase dopamineneurotransmission cause behavioural effects such as increasedlocomotion, climbing and deficits in prepulse inhibition. Knownantipsychotics and dopamine receptor antagonists can block thesebehavioural effects. Unfortunately, dopamine receptor antagonists alsocause severe extrapyramidal side effects in patients as predicted byinduction of catalepsy in animal models. These extrapyramidal sideeffects include tremor, bradykinesia, akithesias, and tardivedyskinesias.

Due in part to these observations, the discovery of agents with M₁receptor agonist activity has been sought after for the treatment ofdementia. However, existing agents lack specificity in their actions atthe various muscarinic receptor subtypes. Known M₁ muscarinic agonistssuch as arecoline have also been found to be weak agonists of M₂ as wellas M₃ receptor subtypes and are ineffective in the treatment ofcognitive impairment, due in large part to their dose-limiting M₂ and M₃receptor mediated side effects.

Xanomeline (Shannon et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 1994, 269, 271;Shannon et al., Schizophrenia Res. 2000, 42, 249) is an M₁/M₄ preferringmuscarinic receptor agonist with little or no affinity for dopaminereceptors despite inhibiting A10 but not A9 dopamine cells. Thethiadiazole derivative PTAC has been reported (Shannon et al., EuropeanJournal of Pharmacology, 1998, 356, 109) to have partial agonist effectat muscarinic M₂ and M₄ receptors and antagonist effect at muscarinicM₁, M₃, and M₅ receptors as well as exhibiting functional dopamineantagonism.

Recently, muscarinic agonists including xanomeline have been shown to beactive in animal models with similar profiles to known antipsychoticdrugs, but without causing catalepsy (Bymaster et al., Eur. J.Pharmacol. 1998, 356, 109, Bymaster et al., Life Sci. 1999, 64, 527,Shannon et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 1999, 290, 901, Shannon et al.,Schizophrenia Res. 2000, 42, 249). Further, xanomeline was shown toreduce psychotic behavioural symptoms such as delusions, suspiciousness,vocal outbursts, and hallucinations in Alzheimer's disease patients(Bodick et al., Arch. Neurol. 1997, 54, 465), however treatment inducedside effects that severely limit the clinical utility of this compound.

Analogues of 1,2,5-thiadiazole have been reported (Sauerberg et al., J.Med. Chem. 1998, 41, 4378) to have high affinity and selectivity forcentral muscarinic receptors as well as exhibiting functional dopamineantagonism despite lack of affinity for dopamine receptors.

The present investigators have, in part, focussed their efforts on thedevelopment of molecules that simultaneously reduced the positivesymptoms and improved the negative symptoms and the cognitiveimpairments associated with schizophrenia as a novel treatment of mentaldisorders. It is the intent of the present investigators to demonstratethat muscarinic M₁ and/or M₄ agonists with combined D₂ antagonistactivity may possess superior antipsychotic efficacy without the sideeffects associated with high dose D₂ antagonism alone. The D₂ antagonistproperties of some of the compounds of the present invention maycontribute to a reduction in the positive symptoms of this disease.

Based on distribution of M₁ and M₄ receptors in the cerebral cortex andhippocampus (the areas involved in higher order cognitive functions),the M₁ and/or M₄ agonist properties of these compounds may reduce thecognitive dulling and perhaps ameliorate other negative symptomsassociated with schizophrenia. (Friedman, Biol. Psychiatry, 1999, 45, 1;Rowley, J. Med. Chem. 2001, 44, 477; Felder, J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43,4333). This unique combination of central nervous system activities inone molecule is unprecedented and may lead to the development of anentirely new class of antipsychotic drugs, ones with the superiorclinical properties without the limiting side-effect profile.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

For the purpose of the current disclosure, the following definitionsshall in their entireties be used to define technical terms.

The term “agonist” is defined as a compound that increases the activityof a receptor when it contacts the receptor.

The term “antagonist” is defined as a compound that competes with anagonist or inverse agonist for binding to a receptor, thereby inhibitingor blocking the action of an agonist or inverse agonist on the receptor.However, an antagonist (also known as a “neutral” antagonist) has noeffect on constitutive receptor activity.

The term “inverse agonist” is defined as a compound that decreases thebasal activity of a receptor (i.e., signaling mediated by the receptor).Such compounds are also known as negative antagonists. An inverseagonist is a ligand for a receptor that causes the receptor to adopt aninactive state relative to a basal state occurring in the absence of anyligand. Thus, while an antagonist can inhibit the activity of anagonist, an inverse agonist is a ligand that can alter the conformationof the receptor in the absence of an agonist. The concept of an inverseagonist has been explored by Bond et al. in Nature 374:272 (1995). Morespecifically, Bond et al. have proposed that unliganded β₂-adrenoceptorexists in an equilibrium between an inactive conformation and aspontaneously active conformation. Agonists are proposed to stabilizethe receptor in an active conformation. Conversely, inverse agonists arebelieved to stabilize an inactive receptor conformation. Thus, while anantagonist manifests its activity by virtue of inhibiting an agonist, aninverse agonist can additionally manifest its activity in the absence ofan agonist by inhibiting the spontaneous conversion of an unligandedreceptor to an active conformation.

The “M₁-receptor” is defined as a receptor having an activitycorresponding to the activity of the m1 muscarinic receptor subtypecharacterized through molecular cloning and pharmacology.

The term “subject” refers to an animal, for example a mammal, such as ahuman, who is the object of treatment, observation or experiment.

The term “selective” is defined as a property of a compound whereby anamount of the compound sufficient to effect a desired response from aparticular receptor type, subtype, class or subclass causes asubstantially smaller or no effect upon the activity of other receptortypes.

The EC₅₀ for an agonist is intended to denote the concentration of acompound needed to achieve 50% of a maximal response seen in an in vitroassay such as R-SAT. For inverse agonists, EC50 is intended to denotethe concentration of a compound needed to achieve 50% inhibition of anR-SAT response from basal, no compound, levels.

As used herein, the term “coadministration” of pharmacologically activecompounds refers to the delivery of two or more separate chemicalentities, whether in vitro or in vivo. Coadministration refers to thesimultaneous delivery of separate agents; to the simultaneous deliveryof a mixture of agents; as well as to the delivery of one agent followedby delivery of a second agent or additional agents. In all cases, agentsthat are coadministered are intended to work in conjunction with eachother.

The method of the invention relates to the modulation of a cholinergicreceptor. Typically, said cholinergic receptor is a muscarinic receptor;one example of a cholinergic receptor is a muscarinic receptor ofM₁-receptor subtype. As can be seen from the Examples, in suitableembodiments, the cholinergic receptor may be either or both themuscarinic M₁-receptor and the muscarinic M₄-receptor subtypes. Thephysiologically beneficial response in the method of the invention istypically associated with the specific activation of the M₁-receptorsubtype over the M₂- or M₃-receptor subtype, or the specific activationof the M₁- and M₄-receptor subtypes over the M₂- or M₃-receptor subtype.Moreover, a physiologically beneficial response in a method of theinvention is typically associated with the agonistic activity of thecompound of formula I or IA. Thus, in one embodiment, the compound offormula I or IA is a muscarinic agonist, such as an M₁ agonist or an M₁and M₄ agonist.

A further aspect of the invention relates to a method of increasing theactivity of a cholinergic receptor. In one embodiment, a method includescontacting a cholinergic receptor or a system containing a cholinergicreceptor with an effective amount of at least one compound of formula Ior IA, as defined supra.

A related aspect of the invention is directed to a method of treating orpreventing or alleviating one or more symptoms associated with adisorder in a mammal, such as a human. In one embodiment, a methodincludes the administration of an effective amount of a compound offormula I or IA, said disorder associated with a muscarinic receptor,for example, M₁ muscarinic receptor subtype.

The disorders associated with the M₁ muscarinic receptor subtype aretypically mental disorders. Suitable mental disorders which can betreated by the method of the invention may be selected from the groupcomprising of cognitive impairment, forgetfulness, confusion, memoryloss, attentional deficits, deficits in visual perception, depression,pain, sleep disorders, psychosis, and increased intraocular pressure.

Disorders associated with the M₁ muscarinic receptor subtype need not bea mental disorder. For instance, increased intraocular pressure isassociated with the M₁ muscarinic receptor subtype. Disorders to whichthe method of the invention are directed therefore include non-mentaldisorders.

Disorders to which the method of the invention are directed may befurther selected from the group comprising neurodegenerative diseases,Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Huntington'schorea, Friederich's ataxia, Gilles de la Tourette's Syndrome, DownSyndrome, Pick disease, dementia, clinical depression, age-relatedcognitive decline, attention-deficit disorder, sudden infant deathsyndrome, and glaucoma.

As stated, the compounds of the invention have high selectivity andaffinity for the muscarinic M₁ receptor subtypes. As can be seen fromthe Examples, the compounds also have high affinity for one or both ofthe M₁ and M₄ receptor subtypes, selectively over other receptors suchas the M₂, M₃ and M₅ receptor subtypes. The compounds of the inventiontypically act, at least in part, as an M₁ agonist or as M₁ and M₄agonist.

The compounds of the invention have the ability to increase cholinergicreceptor activity or activate cholinergic receptors. Cholinergicreceptor activity includes signaling activity or any other activity thatis directly or indirectly related to cholinergic signalling oractivation. The cholinergic receptors include muscarinic receptors,especially the m1 or m4 subtype of muscarinic receptors. The muscarinicreceptor can be, for example, in the central nervous system, peripheralnervous system, gastrointestinal system, heart, endocrine glands, orlungs. The muscarinic receptor can be a wild-type, truncated, mutated,or modified cholinergic receptor.

Kits comprising the compounds of the present invention, and instructionsfor practicing a method of the invention, for example, increasingcholinergic receptor activity or activating cholinergic receptors, arealso provided.

The system containing the cholinergic receptor may, for example, be asubject such as a mammal, non-human primate or a human. The system mayalso be an in vivo or in vitro experimental model, such as a cellculture model system that expresses a cholinergic receptor, a cell-freeextract thereof that contains a cholinergic receptor, or a purifiedreceptor. Non-limiting examples of such systems are tissue culture cellsexpressing the receptor, or extracts or lysates thereof.

Cells that may be used in a method of the invention include any cellcapable of mediating signal transduction via cholinergic receptors, suchas the m1 muscarinic receptor, either via endogenous expression ofreceptor (certain types of neuronal cells lines, for example, nativelyexpress the m1 receptor), or such as following introduction of anexogenous gene into the cell, for example, by transfection of cells withplasmids containing the receptor gene. Such cells are typicallymammalian cells (or other eukaryotic cells, such as insect cells orXenopus oocytes), because cells of lower life forms generally lack theappropriate signal transduction pathways for the present purpose.Specific non-limiting examples of suitable cells include: the mousefibroblast cell line NIH 3T3 (ATCC CRL 1658), which responds totransfected m1 receptors by increased growth; RAT 1 cells (Pace et al.,Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:7031-35 (1991)); and pituitary cells(Vallar et al., Nature 330:556-58 (1987)). Other useful mammalian cellsinclude but are not limited to HEK 293 cells, CHO cells and COS cells.

The compounds of the present invention also have the ability to reduceintraocular pressure and therefore can be used in the treatment of suchdiseases associated with intraocular pressure, e.g., glaucoma. Glaucomais a disease in which an abnormality is observed in thecirculation-control mechanism of the aqueous humor filling up theanterior chamber, i.e., the space formed between the cornea and thelens. This leads to an increase in the volume of the aqueous humor andan increase in intraocular pressure, consequently leading to visualfield defects and even to loss of eyesight due to the compulsion andcontraction of the papillae of the optic nerve.

Accordingly, the invention also provides methods of treating a diseasein a mammal, such as a human, wherein modulation of the activity of acholinergic receptor is associated with a physiologically beneficialresponse in said disease of said mammal. In one embodiment, a methodincludes administering an effective amount of a compound of formula I,as defined supra, to achieve a physiologically beneficial response.Typically, the cholinergic receptor is a muscarinic receptor, moretypically the cholinergic receptor is a muscarinic M₁-receptor subtype.Alternatively, the cholinergic receptor is the muscarinic M₄-receptorsubtype.

The invention further provides methods of treating or preventing oralleviating the symptoms associated with a disorder in a mammal, such asa human. In one embodiment, a method includes the administration of aneffective amount of the compound of formula I, said disorder associatedwith a muscarinic receptor, such as the M₁ muscarinic receptor subtype,to treat or prevent or alleviate one or more symptoms associated withthe disorder.

The physiologically beneficial response is typically associated with theselective modulation of the muscarinic M₁-receptor subtype in relationto the muscarinic M₂- or M₃-receptor subtypes. In one embodiment, thecompound in the method of the invention is a muscarinic agonist.

The disease or disorder treated by the compounds of the invention istypically a mental disorder and the physiologically beneficial responseis due to modulation in terms of M₁ agonism; M₁ and M₄ agonism; both M₁agonism and D₂ antagonism; or M₁ and M₄ agonism and D₂ antagonism.

A further and related aspect of the invention relates to methods ofincreasing an activity of a cholinergic receptor. In one embodiment, amethod includes contacting the cholinergic receptor or a systemcontaining the cholinergic receptor with an effective amount of at leastone compound as defined supra to increase an activity of a cholinergicreceptor.

As can be ascertained from the above discussion, the compounds of theinvention are intended, at least in part, for use as pharmaceuticalmedicaments. Thus, the invention provides compositions comprising i) oneor more compounds of formula I, as defined supra; and ii) at least onepharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier. As the inventionrelates to the use of a compound of formula I, as defined supra, theinvention also provides a compound of formula I, a pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt thereof, a stereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceuticalcomposition comprising either entity, for the preparation of amedicament for the treatment of diseases or disorders associated with acholinergic receptor or ligand thereof.
